    Its also the day the Dalai Lama won the Nobel Peace Prize for shunning violence and seeking liberation from China for his Himalayan nation through peaceful means.

    He should have invented some sort of booze.

    Interesting John Jameson fact:

    When the distillery moved, a lot of John Jameson's furniture was sold off to random people. A young woman from Cork bought his dining room table for 5 pounds(a hefty sum in those days), and it now stands in a dining room in Galway. I ate my breakfast off it every morning for about 20 years.

    It was also this day 867 years ago that Portugal was recognised as a country.

    To Portugal!

    The 5 October 1953 was also the first recorded meeting of Narcotics Anonymous.

    One for all the junkies out there.

    Nobody would ever have heard of it though, unless they used some celebrity marketing. Maybe a rap group like the Butan Clan.

    Might all seem like some harmless fun but why is the public falling for these shallow Mad Men strokes? Reminds me of puupets on a string.


    Howabout stalling any more drinks partying until people throughout Ireland can drink safe water?

    Significant enough day when you look into it!

    The first ever James Bond film was released.
    First ever Monty Python episode was aired.
    Guildford pub bombings.
